Karen,
Nobody, not even MapQuest is perfect. My wife has used it for directions to
locations in the L.A. area with generally good results, occasionally
showing her better ways she never would have found on her own. MapQuest may
assume a mere concrete barrier is no real obstacle for a determined woman
driving a sport-ute. With regard to the Park boundary, my two maps of the
area show US-191 going slightly inside the Yellowstone boundary, although
there may be no apparent consequence to the driver.
Hoping everyone has a safe and fun trip,
Bob
